How do you preserve a space in html?

This depends on whether you wish to preserve all whitespace in certain elements and what exactly should happen there. Assuming that there are no CSS rules that might interfere, your CSS can be simplified to Show
because an If you only wish to prevent multiple spaces from collapsing, instead of forcing fixed division to lines, then Finally, the need and possibilities for restricting the rule to selected elements greatly depend on how the selection should be done. Perhaps you can selectively set You can also break the inheritance: you could set Updated: 07/31/2022 by Creating extra blank space in your HTML on a web page can be achieved in many ways depending on the type of space you want to create. The following sections contains different ways to create extra space using both HTML and CSS in an HTML editor like Dreamweaver or a text editor like Notepad. Creating extra spaces before or after text One of the most confusing things to new users who're creating a web page is that they cannot press the spacebar multiple times to make additional spaces. To create extra spaces before, after, or in-between your text, use the (non-breaking space) extended HTML character. For example, with the phrasing "extra space" using a double space, we have the following code in our HTML. extra space Note If you are using a WYSIWYG editor to enter the code above, you must be in the HTML tab or editing the HTML code. Keep spacing in text that is pasted to a pageIf you are pasting text with extra spaces or tabs, you can use the HTML tag to keep the text formatted. Below is an example of how to paste text with extra spaces using thetag.This text has lots of spaces
Note If you are using a WYSIWYG editor to enter the code above, you must be in the HTML tab or editing the HTML code. Creating extra space around an element or objectAny HTML element can have additional spacing added to the top, right, bottom, or left. However, make sure you understand the difference between margin and padding before deciding the type of space you want to add around the element or object. As seen in the picture below, padding surrounds the element, within the border, and the margin outside the border. The example below shows our paragraph surrounded by a border, indented with a margin, and with spacing on the right and bottom. An example of a paragraph with margin and padding. The example above was created using the code below.
In the first section of the code, "margin-left: 2.5em;" adds a left margin of 2.5 em, which gives the appearance of indented text. As shown by the example, this spacing is outside of the border. In the next section, "padding: 0 7em 2em 0;" is defining the top, right, bottom, and left (clockwise) padding. There is "0" top padding, "7em" right padding, "2em" bottom padding, and 0 left padding. The remainder of this example is defining how the border should look. Creating a tab using CSS and HTMLA tab can be created in HTML by adjusting the left margin of an element. For example, this paragraph has a left margin of 2.5 em from the element containing the text. The CSS to create this left margin is shown below. .tab {
margin-left: 2.5em
}After placing this code in our CSS file, we can apply the "tab" class to any text to create the appearance of a tab. The value of the margin-left can be increased or decreased depending on your needs. Although we recommend the method above, the margin-left CSS can also be added inline, as shown in the example below.
An example of a 5em left margin.
To add extra space below a line or paragraph of text, or push text down lower on the page once, you can use the
The code above creates the text shown below. This sentence contains example text. As you can see, two breaks add the space above. Additional breaks can be added if needed. However, we suggest using the CSS method mentioned earlier to add padding and spacing around your text if being done in multiple places on a page. Add line spacing between text linesThe spacing between lines of text can be adjusted by increasing and decreasing the line-height using CSS to make the text easier to read. Below is an example of extra line spacing being added to a paragraph of text.
The code above creates the text shown below. This example text is an example of how extra space between lines could be added to text. However, we would not recommend using this much line space because it does make it more difficult to read. We're only using this much line spacing as an example. In our example above, we used 3.5 em as the line-height to help emphasize the spacing between the lines. However, for readability, we recommend using around 1.7em. Adding some additional spacing between lines always improves the readability of your text. However, adding too much can make it more difficult to follow and scan.
